It is difficult to imagine how the islanders moved such a large statue from the quarry four
miles (six kilometers) away; Paro is the island's largest transported moai. Lying face down,
toppled from its ahu, Paro weighs 82 tons and is 32.45 feet (9.89 meters) long. Some
theorists estimate it could have taken four to five hundred people to move Paro. Paro's
pukao alone is almost six feet (two meters) across, 5.5 feet (1.7 meters) high, and weighs
11.5 tons.
